Project #3 – Design Elements

As a fashion designer it is vital that you understand the way garments are constructed. You need this knowledge to be able to innovate new methods and techniques and to subvert or update existing methods. However, communicating your designs with your production team can be a big challenge, and can cause huge losses in time & money if there is a mix-up. If you are inventing a new pocket, lining, cutting method, joining method ( Anything ! ) You will need to create a ‘bible’, an instruction manual for your contractors or couturiers.
